There’s something special about a home that has evolved without losing the character that made it wonderful in the first place. Set beneath a canopy of mature trees in established Coulwood, this classic full-brick mid-century ranch is fresh, inviting and wonderfully authentic.

Beautiful hardwood floors flow through generous living spaces, beginning with a large living room offering plenty of flexibility for conversation, entertaining or a combined living/dining arrangement. The spacious kitchen opens naturally to the den and adjoining sunroom, creating an easy, connected floor plan that simply works for everyday living. Filled with natural light and views of the leafy surroundings, the sunroom is currently styled as a dining room but could just as easily become a favorite gathering space, reading room or relaxed place to enjoy morning coffee.

Fresh paint gives the home an updated feel while many of the original details that make it so appealing have been thoughtfully preserved. Vintage baths bring personality and a sense of place, including a wonderfully original hall bath, while the primary bath has received a fresh update with new paint and lighting. The result feels considered rather than overdone — comfortable, interesting and unmistakably mid-century. Also, other items to note, the crawlspace is encapsulated and the security system is hard-wired.

Outside, the large canopy lot may be one of the home’s greatest luxuries. Mature trees create a peaceful, established setting with space to enjoy the outdoors and a sense of privacy that is increasingly hard to find in Charlotte. An attached two-car garage plus an additional detached garage offer exceptional flexibility for parking, storage, a workshop, hobbies or all of the above.

And then there’s the location. Coulwood is loved for its mature landscape, neighborhood character and sense of community, while keeping everyday conveniences close at hand. There are no mandatory HOA fees. However, there is a great neighborhood pool with optional membership opportunities. Enjoy nearby Coulwood Park, shopping and dining at Riverbend Village and outdoor adventure at the U.S. National Whitewater Center. I-485 is close by for easy access throughout the Charlotte area, while Highway 16 provides a straightforward route into Center City for work, dining and entertainment.

Original. Comfortable. Unpretentious. And unmistakably mid-century. 933 Coulwood Drive is ready for its next chapter.
